Hello,

Ordered 18650B by mistake, but since I have only got a AAA flashlight, I would like one that can use 18650B batteries. Any suggestions?

Re: 18650B compatible?

You should give us some more information, because there are too many 18650 flashlights. Take a look at the big companies homepages like Fenix, Olight, Sunwayman to name only a few.
If you have a smaller budget (less as $30), you should take a look at the Hong Kong shops (a few brands have a good quality like Convoy). Of course you can buy a cheap $7 flashlight within shipping on ebay, but often the quality is really cheesy.

As mentioned above, there are about a zillion choices. One of my favorites for a single-cell 18650 is the Convoy S2+

I just got this one. ThorFire C8s CREE XM-L2 4modes Tactical LED Flashlight 18650 very nice and works well. Get it from banggod for $17 delivered.

For less than 20 bucks, I would recommend the Convoy S2+ or Convoy C8.
Can order direct from the owner, Simon Mao of Convoy Shenzen at Aliexpress or other online retailers like Banggood, Fasttech or MountainElectronics if you in the US

Thank you! Are most 18650 flashlights compatible with the longer 18650B?

The difference in lenght is if they are protected or unprotected. You could have ncr18650B protected (68.5mm) or ncr18650B unprotected (65.0mm).

Thank you. It's the protected ones. Doesn't fit my headlamp.
